When the kids were little, we use to track back and forth to both grandparent's home. It was stressful and taxing. Mike and I usually ended up arguing Christmas Eve because we had ALWAYS offended one or anothers mother. It's just how it is at Christmas when you are trying to spend time with everyone! After Jane passed away, we started having Christmas at home, just our family. I like it this way so much better. I think the kids love to stay home and enjoy their goodies. Everything is low-key and much less stressful. I hope I can remember this as a grandma. I'm trying to do this as a mom! Cutting back this year and enjoying the moment. Taking things slow when I can. Taking days off to do nothing.
